womENs EMPLOYMENT AND CASTE.

Writing in the Contemporary
Revieao on the Higher Education of
Women, Mrs. +. Lynn Linton, whose
papers on The Girl of the Period at
tracted great deal of attention
some years ago, suggests that
great deal of difficulty surrounding
women's employment could be got
over by women themselves. If,
instead of degrading their own more
natural work by the social ostracism
of their workers, they would raise
it by respect and honor, large fields
of productive usefulness would be
opened, and much cause for heart
burnings would cease. The greater
democracy of the present age makes
it possible for great ladies to earn
money. Even queen throws her
books into the market, and sells them
all the same as others. Certain
tailors and certain shopkecpers are
received in London society as among
it's favourite and most honoured
guests. Why should not milliners
or lady shopkeepers be received
there? There are plenty of mil
liners and dressmakers who are well
educated, pleasant hammered, honor
able ladies; yet the countesses and
danes for whom they devise their
dainty costumes will not meet them
on equal terms at balls and dinners.
The highest ladies in the land do
not disdain to turn an honest penny
if they can; and where is the essen-
tial differences between the clergy
mans daughter who sells mantles
or laces in shop for her living, and
the young duchess Gwho sells pin
cushions and buttonholes at bazaar
for her vanity, masked as charity.
'If,' adds Mrs. Linton, I'VE could
get rid of all caste feelings, and
judge of people by themselves and
not by their work-if we would
allow that a milliner could be a lady,
and shop girl on a level with her
sister the governess, and both on an
equality with their brother the
clergyman, and their aunt the physi-
clans wife-we should have done
more for the question of the employ
ment of women than we have done
by the establishment of colleges and
the creation of educational stand
ards, the attainments of which are
inimical to the best interests of
society, because hurtful to women
themselves.

A DIPPING BOX.

This box is half filled with the dipping

preferable when about so dogs. tempera
ture. Two men turn sheep upon its
back, lift it by it's legs and head and sub
merge it's body in the fluid, keeping nos
trils and eyes clear, if possible. No harm
results, however, if all goes under. A
third man should stand upon the opposite
side of the box to assist in keeping the
sheep under for minute or so while
the wool is being soaked to the skin.
The animal is then drawn upon the drain
ing table, and the wool pressed by the
hand to force out as much fluid as can
readily be done. The sheep is then lifted
to the ground or floor. In the meantime
one of the two men first named has
another sheep ready for its turn. 1t

NAL Where the flock is large the box
should be twelve or fifteen feet long, and
high enough, so that the sheep are made
to swim its length. They can thus be
passed through very rapidly, being re-
tanned upon the draining table as long as
may be necessary.
The commercial dips are usually trust
worthy, but where these cannot be OBJ
tanned a good preparation is made by mix
ing one part crude carbolic acid with $50
parts of water. 1t may be further weak

The time to dip sheep is whenever they
are troubled with ticks, lice, maggots for
which the dip must be strong or the scab.

A Cellar in Springy Ground.

In dealing with a cellar in springy
ground, the first thing to be done is to
provide some chance for the water to run
away before getting into the cellar. This
may be done by laying two inch tile
drain pipe in trench dug all around the
foundation outside of the walls, and from
one foot to two feet below the cellar floor.
Put this pipe together with mortar and
cover it with cobblestones to keep out the
dirt and sand. If it is not practicable to
lay the drain outside, it may be laid in
side of the cellar walls, directly in the
cellar floor; but the operation of such a
drain is less efficient The back filling Of
the cellar walls should be porous enough
to allow the water to go directly into the
drain. Sanitary Engineer.

WEAVING Pigs.

WEAVING pigs is a subject of discussion
among professional pork growers The
farmer who has litters to wean must re-
member that his high profit lies in his
ability to so run these little pork making
machines as to keep their digestion in per
feet ORDER and to daily increase the
capacity of the stomach for digestion and
assimilating the largest possible amount
of food.
The stomach will keep in better condition
II the times of feeding be not too far apart
and the quantity given only sufficient to
satisfy hunger, yet not to surfeit. Here is
a fine point in getting best growth and
keeping the pigs in highest condition of
health. They should be fed at least three
times day until five or six months old,
and if from two to four months the same
amount of feed for the day be divided into
five meals there will be less danger of over
feeding or deranging the digestion.
The pig is omnivorous, and its highest
and most rapid development, says Ameri-
can Cultvator, from which the above is
quoted, calls for n generous variety OF
feed. During the period of growth there
should be a smaller per cent. of carbonate
or fat formers supplied, while the per
cent of phosphates and heterogeneous COM
pounds should be increased. Corn con-
tans six of the carbonates to one of the
phosphates. Since the object of feed
ing pigs between the ages of two and
seven months is to develop growth of
frame and powers of assimilation, it is
evident that bone and tissue cannot be
made out of fattenng food. Something
cannot be made out of nothing but good
pig can come as near to making it as any
animal created.
Ia or RI Ga fof
but bone and muscle, we must feed for
these. Where pigs have access to grass
and artichokes or potatoes, or acorns and
beech huts, and the endless variety they
find under and above ground, they may
do well where they have, in addition to
these, enough corn to keep them in medium
flesh, and to save them from overwork in
hunting a living.
Indian corn is especially rich in fat
formers. Oats, on the other hand, are
especially rich in phosphates or bone and
muscle formers. Clover and grass 80
happily combine the two that when stock
and hogs have run to clover and grass
they make a good growth of bone and
muscle, and development of stomach
which enables them to assimilate greater
amount of corn when the time comes to
fatten them.
IL Dy tHe starving process only enough
corn is given to keep the pig alive and
squealing vigorously, he may have lung
development, but how about the stomach,
which is the seat of honor and profit in the
pig' The powers of the stomach are not
developed by feeding concentrated food in
small quantities. If there is but little
corn to be fed, it will pay to have it ground
and fed even on clover hay, enough to
secure the bulk needed to enlarge the
stomach. When the starved pig arrives
at the time he is to be fed all he will eat,
he will not have the capacity and power
Of stomach to eat and digest his bushel of
corn in five days, and convert the same
into fifteen pounds Of pork. Good pigs
have done this and 20 per cent. more dur
ing the fattening season.

Information About Carp.

Carp can be kept in almost any kind Of
pond. 1t feeds principally on vegetable
food, such as grains, bread, roots, or al
most any vegetable matter whatever that
may be given it. 1t does not devour its
own young, and for this reason increases
rapidly; but the presence of other fish that
have this propensity would be highly OBJ
jectionable in the same pond The carp
soon becomes quite tame, and limited
number may be kept in "A large wire box

used in dipping sheep. Country Gentle
man tells how to make it: 1t is composed
Of two inch pine plank, and is held to-
gether by bolts across the ends, outside
the box. The joints are put together with
white lead. One end of the box is in
clined, so that the sheep may be readily
drawn upon the draining table, which has
Stats upon the top, so as to permit the
fluid that drains from the wool to run
back into the tub. This table is fastened
to the box by hooks ut each side. One
end rests upon the box, and the other is
supported by legs.
